March 1 – German political parties put pressure on Merkel to ban Erdagon’s entry into Germany

March 5 – Several German municipalities cancelled Turkish cabinet ministers rallies in support of a referendum next month on constitutional reform. 1.4 million Turks living in Germany are eligible to vote. Erdoğan called the German act ‘likening its stance to Nazi practices’.

March 9 – Merkel says, ‘Turkey’s accusations of “Nazi-style practices” in Germany cannot be tolerated and need to stop’.

Erdagon speaks to rally in Istanbul: 'you can stop our foreign minister's plane all you want, let's see how your (diplomatic) planes will come to Turkey from now on’, 'They do not know politics or international diplomacy. These Nazi remnants, they are fascists'.

March 11 - Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu tells CNN Turk TV that his country is prepared to once again allow migrants passage into Europe if Turks are not permitted to travel in the European Union (EU) visa-free as agreed upon - EU’s failure to uphold its part of the agreement entered into last March jeopardized Turkey’s will to keep migrants from crossing through Turkey into Greece. He said, “and either it will all be canceled, including the visa liberalization and migrant deal, or it will all be implemented”.
